anyone ever done a clutch on a 88 civic? how hard is it? just got the car and now the clutch is slipping kinda bad. it's driveable, but not for long i'd guess, maybe a week or 2 tops. anyone wanta R&R it for me? prices?
 
might use that as a last resort. wonder how long it'll take sean to see this and feel sorry me and hook me up with a super discount price.... :)
 
It's not as hard as you would think, I know my brother did his 97 del sol (civic) and it didn't take him too long.
 
Sean is a Honda expert - give him a ring. He had smoe special made Spec clutches he was using for a while.

Super Discount. you supply the clutch its $50 to machine the flywheel and $320 for the install
 
see thats what i love about motown, ask a question, get a response super quick. ok, let me see how long i can nurse this thing around, i dont get paid for another 2 weeks, so i think we can work something out. :) how long do you figure it'll take? day or 2?

sweet, off the top of your head, whats a clutch for one of them cost? also, are you open on saturdays? could i drop it off friday and pick up on sat?
 
Dude it takes about and hour and half to do one in those..


When you take the trans out.. Drill a 1\2 inch hole in the bottom of the bell housing about a inch back from the face of the bellhousing.

Those things have a problem with water building up in the bell housings and killing clutches
 
I'd be in but my car currently looks like this..
